2012 was a great year and I wanted to share some of the best bits on
here. I spent the first six months of 2012 in Spain, as I was living there as a
part of my degree, and that alone could top anything I have ever done before,
it was the best time of my life, although I may not have always realised it at
the time. I was working in two primary schools as an English teacher and only
worked Monday to thursday so every weekend was a long one, therfore I was able
to travel around Spain and explore with my new friend who I met whilst living
there as we were both doing the same thing.
In February I turned 21 and my
family and boyfriend came out to visit me and celebrate my birthday.
|
We took a day trip to Granada. Look at the gorgeous weather, in February people! |
|
On my birthday morning we visited the castle and and took many a photo of the city, JaƩn. |
|
Looking pretty pleased with my presents, spot the Mulberry bag, Ding Dong indeed. |
In March I travelled to Madrid, the capital of Spain with my close friend, Frankie. It is a gorgeous city and I really want to to again in the future.
|
The best ceasar salad, ever. The spanish really do know how to eat. |
|
Obligatory Starbucks, I love how my name is written in the Spanish spelling. |
|
The Metropolis buliding, looking beautiful at night. |

Frankie and I at Parque
del Buen Retiro, which is the largest park in Madrid and it is
blissful, you can rent a little boat and row around the lake, and there
is always entertainers doing little shows around the park. | |

Tomando copas con las amigas Drinks with friends. |

With some of the staff I worked with. |
|
In Seville, I think this is my favourite part of Spain that I have been to. I want to visit here again with my boyfriend, Aaron. |
|
I have never had 'Girl's' holiday as since I was 18 I've holidayed with my boyfriend but this Summer my boyfriend was away working in China so in July, me and two of my best friends booked for a week away in the Spanish sun, I was happy about this because I had not longed returned from my year abroad and was itching to get back on Spanish soil and speak the lingo once again, even if for only a week.
So much love for these ladies
In September my boyfriend turned 23 and for his birthday we took what is fast becoming our annual trip to Cardiff to celebrate.
|
This is my dog, Madison, she is a cocker spaniel. This is really just to represent Christmas as I didn't take many photos but Christmas is always the highlight of the year isn't it? |
|
So that is my year summed up in picture form. I am now going to hunt blogger to find any posts similar to this to see what everyone else has been up to.
